Example of how to connect your equipment

Connecting your audio components

Connecting a CD player

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the CD player to the CD L/R jacks on the HT-R490. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the CD player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the HT-R490 depending on the type of connector on the CD player.

With the initial settings of the HT-R490, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed (see page 12).

Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN L/R jacks on the HT-R490 and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE OUT L/R jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the HT-R490 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the HT-R490, the DIGITAL INPUT jack for the TAPE source is not assigned. If you connect the device to the DIGITAL INPUT jack, then this input source must be set for digital input at the DIGITAL INPUT button (see page 12).
